It may also serve as a quick reference for other practitioners, including auditors, accountants, and others who deal with corruption and asset recovery. 2019-10-22T17:01:24Z 2019-10-22T17:01:24Z 2020 Book http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/963821575381635662/Going-for-Broke-Insolvency-Tools-to-Support-Cross-Border-Asset-Recovery-in-Corruption-Cases 978-1-4648-1438-9 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/32596 English StAR Initiative; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Publication
